Dance Robot Art
Dance is one of the three major arts, from ancient times, next to theater and music. It is characterized by the use of body movements following previously established (choreography) or improvised (free dance) moves.
The Robocup robotic dance competition, introduced in 2003, consists of coordinating robotic movements with music and it has great public acceptance. The competition is judged by a panel of experts in robotics and dance. From the standpoint of programming, the test is demanding and combines the robot’s movement with a creative choreography achieving good levels of artistic beauty.
The construction of autonomous robots is an activity with a strong interdisciplinary character. This work is yet another example of an interdisciplinary approach involving the following concepts: Electro-mechanics (models of DC motors), Physics (kinematics and dynamics) and Geometry. The actual construction of the robot requires an even broader range of concepts covering areas such as Control, Instrumentation, and Electronics.
The project involves different areas such as Physics, Electronics, Computer, Electricity and
Mathematics and includes a set of measures designed to stimulate a taste for science, awareness of the role, importance and applications of science in day to day life and awaken the interest in scientific areas yet unexplored. The project includes the creation of an interactive exhibition in which all simulations will actually be explained / coordinated by the students of Science and Technology in primary and secondary education, including participation in numerous festivals related with Robotics (RoboParty, National Festival of Robotics, Robocup etc..)
